This Week in Grade 1 CC

We had a fantastic back to school week!

Our class spent the week reviewing some of the concepts we learned before the holiday. In Math, we continue to work on number operations and basic facts. We worked in small groups to practice solving number problems using number strategies. The children also worked in pairs skip counting to become more familiar with number patterns. We will continue our lessons on fractions and link it to the concept of symmetry.

Our unit of inquiry, Express Ourselves, kicked off with great success! The children eagerly participated in our brainstorming activity and shared their personal experiences related to the unit. Mr. Jon came to our class and read us a book to demonstrate different ways we can use our voice to express feelings and ideas.

Highlights of the week:

Buddy Activity

We visited Miss Bridget’s class and read books together. We also finished working on our collaborative project from our previous unit of inquiry.

IT Class

The children reviewed logging in and to their email and sent messages to their friends. We also did some Cat in the Hat Math and Literacy games.
